Guidance and Control Technology

Abstract

The fundamental ideas and the basic mathematics of the most common missile guidance laws are outlined. Rules of thumb for the required lateral acceleration for the different guidance laws are given. A brief summary of flight mechanics is given. The pitch axis control is treated and the dynamic properties are identified. Design of the autopilot for the inner loop using modem methods of controller design is briefly outlined.
